Banana Bread Pancakes with Nutella Maple Syrup

I mentioned the other day that since the Tall Boy was out of town, Doodle and I were making pancakes for dinner.

When I was single, I ate pancakes for dinner all.the.time.

And, since the Tall Boy doesn’t like pancakes, I’ve hardly eaten them since I got married. It’s a sad, sad thing.

So when Doodle specifically asked me to make them, don’t think I didn’t jump at the chance.

Look, I know banana pancakes are not exactly a new thing. But banana bread is one of my all time favorite things, so I’m usually trying to figure out a way to work it into my meal plan in some form or another.

Except I’m pretty much super lazy on the weeknights. After working all day, running a few errands, and racing around to pick up Doodle, preparing a fancy meal is not top on my to-do list. I’m not one of those women who “have it all together.” Unless having it “together” just means finding socks that match.

So, I was super excited about making these pancakes, until Doodle informed me that he didn’t want bananas and that the syrup sounded “gross.”

Yay! I can’t wait to make these for Mother’s Day–I was just thinking today, too, that I wanted to incorporate banana bread somehow into something else besides, uh, banana bread. I did French toast a couple weekends ago and it was SO good, but everyone likes pancakes better around these parts and OMG does that syrup look MELTILY GOOD. You’re a genius.Hayley recently posted..Banana Cream Pie Minis
